The Rhinella arenarum transcriptome: de novo assembly, annotation and gene prediction
(Nature Research, 2020-12)
The common toad Rhinella arenarum is widely distributed in Argentina, where it is utilised as an autochthonous model in ecotoxicological research and environmental toxicology. However, the lack of a reference genome makes ...
Role of arachidonic acid cascade in Rhinella arenarum oocyte maturation
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-08)
There are no studies that document the production of prostaglandins (PGs) or their role in Rhinella arenarum oocyte maturation. In this study, we analysed the effect of arachidonic acid (AA) andprostaglandins (PGs) on ...
Involvement of PLA2, COX and LOX in Rhinella arenarum oocyte maturation
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-02)
In Rhinella arenarum, progesterone is the physiological nuclear maturation inducer that interacts with oocyte surface and starts a cascade of events leading to germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD). Polyunsaturated fatty acids ...
A curious case of herbivory in the common toad Rhinella arenarum arenarum during hibernation in captivity conditions
(Asociación Herpetológica Argentina, 2013-09)
Spermatogenesis and plasma testosterone levels under field conditions, in males of the common toad (Rhinella arenarum Hensel, 1867), from the Monte Desert, Argentina
(Societe Royale Zoologique de Belgique, 2018-05)
The reproductive function in anurans depends on interactions between the hypothalamus, adenohypophysis and gonads, which are mediated by an endocrine circuit. We studied the relationship between reproductive and histological ...
